The author for the book I chose is Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin was born on February 12th, 1809. He was a naturalist that realized that all life evolved from animal ancestors. The reason he is so known, for this topic is, he found very compelling evidence for his beliefs. When Darwin was in school to become a clergyman, he did not doubt the bible in any way. in fact he obviously embraced it. After his famous geological ttrip, he began to wonder why every religion was not equal in its validity. He still believed in god, but just pretty much as a lawgiver. What he believed in was natural selection was what created everything instead of god. The idea of natural selection is that traits that can be passed down to help you survive become more common. Charles Darwin passed away in april 19th 1882 with a bad reputation among most christians.
